Cultivation of Pleurotus sajor-caju on banana stalk and Bahia grass based substrates

Abstract: Banana stalks and Bahia grass were utilized as basic starting materials for the production of the mushroom Pleurotus sajor-caju. Banana stalks were combined with other waste or supplement products (wheat bran, coast-cross hay, bean straw and cotton textile mill) to obtain different nitrogen concentrations. Since Bahia grass is relatively rich in protein, it was combined with other substrates (banana stalk, coast-cross hay and bean straw) to maintain a substrate nitrogen concentration of about 1.5%. Banana stal… Show more

“…Utilization of such agro-industrial residues for cultivation of mushroom resulted into modification to edible protein in relations of mushroom fruit bodies (Lakshmi and Sornaraj 2014). Banana stalks and Bahia grass were also utilized for Pleurotus sajor-caju production (Siqueira et al 2011). The results for production of Pleurotus by using banana stalks and bahia grass as substrate suggested that no other supplement such as wheat bran and rice bran were needed for successfully production of the mushroom.…”

“…The highest losses in organic matter were recorded at 120 days, which was also the longest incubation time for the substrates. Siqueira et al [44] reported similar trends and showed that P. ostreatus colonization of mixed substrates composed of banana and cotton waste and/or bahiagrass varied over time. It is thought that organic matter lost from substrates during degradation were utilized for growth of the fungus and partly lost as CO 2 and H 2 O during respiration [40,45].…”
